For images there are 2 things you should take care of. First, explain the image itself – enter its Alt tag, title for the link & optionally a slogan. The caption will show under the real picture on your front end.

Once you do that, you require specifying the attachment settings of the photo:

Alignment – How to bring into line the photo in your content. It depends on your genuine theme how alignments will work on your website.

Link To – choose where to link the photo to – the full size image file, the media page automatically formed for every latest attachment, custom URL or just not to link it.

Size – When you upload a photo, WordPress makes manifold copies of it in different and various sizes. Select whether you desire a thumbnail, medium sized image or the complete image added to your post.

After you enter the detail for you photo & select how to visualize it in your post, click the Insert into post button. You will observe the photo added to your editor window.
